Markus Kiefer (born. 1971 in Freiburg in Breisgau) lives and works
in Karlsruhe. He studied at the Art Academy in Mainz (Diploma 2002,
Meisterschüler 2004). His works are predominantly created with a
documentaric view. He observes, documents, archives the things, which
surround him, reflects and works with them, puts them in another
context and takes the observation of reality as an impulse for
interaction. Kiefer mainly works with video and new media. Travels and
residencies are used as creative input (eg. National Art Studio,
Seoul, 2009) Selected works could be seen at the Städtische Galerie,
Villingen-Schwenningen (2011); Kunsthalle, Mainz (2010); Total Museum
of Contemporary Art, Seoul (2009); Deutscher Künstlerbund, Berlin
(2008) and at the Kunstforenigen GL Strand, Kopenhagen (2007) amongst
other exhibitions. At the moment he is working on a videoscupture for
an architecture project for the state Rhineland-Palatinate.
